At this year’s Seize the Dream celebration, JFS honored Joni and Reid Fishman—two extraordinary community leaders whose passion, generosity, and vision have helped shape the future of our community. Through their partnership with JFS of Metrowest and initiatives like the JFS/Rashi Teen Learning and Leadership Council, Joni and Reid have empowered the next generation of young leaders to serve others, strengthen their voices, and create meaningful change.

In this heartfelt tribute, students, colleagues, and community members share stories of Joni’s mentorship, compassion, and unwavering commitment to leadership development through The Rashi School, as well as Reid’s quiet but powerful impact behind the scenes—supporting nonprofit leaders, advancing affordable housing initiatives, and helping others turn purpose into action.

Together, Joni and Reid embody what it means to lead with heart, inspire with purpose, and build a stronger, more connected community where no one stands alone.

Watch this tribute to Joni and Reid Fishman and see the lasting impact of leadership, generosity, and community—and support JFS as we continue to empower future generations of changemakers.
